Chapter 365 Storm at Sea (1)
An island national seaside resort hotel that is farther away from the third coordinate.
Han Zu and Gloria were sitting in the hotel restaurant on the first floor eating exotic food. It was raining heavily outside, and most of the tourists on the beach left the beach and returned to the hotel. Because the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel is a semi-open structure, it is inevitably a bit cold when it rains, so there are not many tourists here. Apart from Han Zu and Gloria, there is basically no one else.
The location of this island country was actually not within the original route calculated by Han Zu, because its location was somewhat deviated from the direction of the third coordinate. If there had not been a sudden emergency, Han Zu was forced to temporarily land on the island, perhaps by now, they would have arrived at the third coordinate area.
"No relevant information found."
"Terminal signal has been disconnected. Unable to locate coordinates."
"Cargo transfer complete, facility self-destructed."
"Click!"
Han Zu, who used the contractor's equipment and knew that his secret facility had been invaded, had to transfer important troops, exposing them, and failed to catch the person responsible, was very angry at the moment. Because of the huge loss this time, his anger temporarily overwhelmed his reason, causing him to lose control of his strength and crush the metal fence next to him into scrap metal.
"What happened to you? Was the damage to the facility serious?"
Han Zu tried his best to calm his anger and slowly regained his sanity.
"Well, most of the materials and equipment were moved away, and all the XIIV-969-T inside the facility were also transported away. My army showed up, but one of the people in charge ran away, and my terminal was also taken away. In order to prevent things from getting worse, I had no choice but to teleport all the troops away and then activate the base's self-destruct system."
"Your terminal was taken away too?"
"They also found a way to crack the biometric system. I suspect they got my body samples from the last few months, not the ones I gave to Infinite City earlier. Someone must be working with them. Combined with the special chemical we found in the desert last time, I suspect that person might be Garcia."
"We are now in a passive position. If they can crack your terminal and find the information inside, and if they tell Infinity about this, your situation will only get worse."
“Hiss… Huh…”
After lighting a cigarette, Han Zu calmed down his excitement and thought carefully. He needed to be calm at this time. The more impulsive he was, the more likely he would make wrong judgments. After recalling the various back-up plans he had left behind, Han Zu's expression gradually calmed down, and then he answered Gloria's concerns.
"No, although the terminal was definitely cracked, and some important blueprints and circuit diagrams were indeed found inside, as well as the structural diagrams of the building I was going to attack. But I didn't mark anything on those documents, and the specific symbols I used were also made up by myself, and only I can understand them. So even if these documents are leaked, there is no evidence to prove that those things were made by me."
"But your plans for carrying out these actions in the future have been ruined, haven't they? And the troops you used to carry out these plans have also been exposed to the Ferdinand family. They will definitely conduct a large-scale investigation of these troops and try to make corresponding preparations."
"I'm not worried about this. First, the current army doesn't have any special abilities. They fight using conventional means. Also, the army hasn't been depleted and all its members have evacuated. The place where they go is impossible for the Ferdinand family to find."
"Where did you put them?"
"Remember that contractor's skyscraper? We can still use the teleportation nodes on it."
"Really? That's fine. At least we have a backup base. Even though it's not very stable, at least we have something. So what should we do now? Should we go back and deal with this facility incident first?"
"No, in order to maximize the results of this time and to prevent me from causing trouble for them at this time, the Feidenan family will definitely pass the news of the existence of the facility and its location to their insiders in the Infinite Company. In this way, we must prepare for the worst, that is, the three forces within the company, including the remaining forces of the former chairman, may send people to check it out. At present, I have completely self-destructed the facility, so even if they go there, they can only find a sudden underground cave. The shielding system inside the facility was working before the facility self-destructed, so they couldn't find any special equipment signals, so even if they began to suspect me, they couldn't find any suitable actual evidence. Anyway, their attitude towards me was not full trust."
"And as long as they can't find any evidence that's actually unfavorable to the company, they won't find anything to use against you. The only evidence that can prove that you are indeed doing something tricky is your terminal and your army. But there is no pointing information in your terminal, and no one in your army can find it. So it's more reasonable to do nothing now and pretend that you know nothing. This can indirectly prove that the authenticity of this incident is questionable. It might be a frame-up by the Feidenan family."
"Yes. After all, I have a bad character, and everyone in the company knows it. If I really had this facility and it was destroyed, with my personality, I would go back and kill people. Unless this is fake."
"Tsk tsk..."
Gloria looked at Han Zu, who had become calm, and smacked her lips.
"what happened?"
"I really can't believe you would do something like this. Even if the core equipment is not damaged, the entire facility must have taken a lot of effort on your part, right?"
"That's right, so I must get this place back, but not now."
Looking at Han Zu who almost gritted his teeth to say this, Gloria shook her head and sneered, but not at Han Zu, but at the Feidenan family. To be honest, if she was not in the same camp as Han Zu and was still a thug of the Feidenan family, Gloria would not want to mess with such a madman who might not even be sure what he would do.
"Okay, then shall we set off now? Or wait until the rain stops?"
"Let's wait until the rain stops. It won't take long. I bought a small fishing boat, and we'll use it to go to the third coordinates. This way we can hide from others. I'm not in a good mood right now, so I might make an impulsive decision. I don't intend to let my emotions affect my judgment on important matters."
"So what are we going to do now? It's raining heavily and there's basically nothing to see in the tourist spots."
"Go back to bed. I'm tired."
"alright."
That night.
Han Zu's guess was correct. The terminal that Christina brought back to the Ferdinand family was indeed quickly cracked. Although there was a lot of information inside the terminal, it did not point to anything. However, from the large number of personnel lists and detailed information found inside the terminal, as well as the structural diagrams of the buildings, special coordinates and other information, Han Zu must be secretly planning something big. Combined with the description of the special army by the only survivor and witness Christina, they quickly thought of a very scary possibility.
In the structural diagram and other information, there were a lot of symbols that they had never seen before, which they regarded as a special code. Although they were made up by Han Zu at random, only he knew what those symbols meant. But in theory, it was indeed a code. So in order to find out the connection between these symbols and the information, the Feidenan family began to investigate and analyze these messages, trying to find out what Han Zu wanted to do.
Similarly, in order to avoid Han Zu's trouble during this period, the Feidenan family did selectively expose some of this information through the family insiders of the Unlimited Company. Of course, they did not tell the Unlimited Company about the military affairs.
Although the person who delivered the message, under the instruction of the family, did not say that this information was related to Han Zu, the coordinates of the so-called facility that were deliberately leaked soon revealed where the facility was located. It was near Han Zu's old house. When they were monitoring Han Zu in the early days, they went to this place frequently.
Therefore, all factions within the Infinite Company sent their special personnel to conduct a secret investigation. Because the factions did not completely trust each other, the three major forces and the personnel sent by the former chairman to investigate the facility were forced to form a team and go to investigate together to prevent any party from keeping the valuable information secret.
But this time, due to the internal decision of the company for general employees, it was confirmed as a rumor and ignored. But the top leaders of various forces wanted to get first-hand information very much, so this investigation was also a secret operation. Each force only sent one person, and under the boss's wrangling, these four people could only passively go to investigate together. At present, they have arrived at Han Zu's old house and are standing in the yard using various equipment to observe and scan the surrounding situation. Although there is nothing abnormal on the ground, through the thick smoke coming out of the well in the yard and the huge underground cavity scanned, they can basically confirm that there is indeed something underneath.
One of them was from the Ferdinand family, so he knew what had happened here. Of course, he didn't know about the military affairs. So after pretending to investigate casually, he left immediately.
The faction in the board of directors that had no connection with the Ferdinand family sent a man who looked like a clerk. He looked like an Eastern European. He just stood in the yard, occasionally wiping his glasses, and seemed to be unconcerned about the matter. After staying for about ten minutes, he also left.
As for the remaining two people, one is the chairman's subordinate, that is, the woman who assisted Han Zu in Q City at that time, and the other is the person sent by the former chairman. Coincidentally, this person is Chu Yi.
When the scanning equipment found an absurdly large pit underground, Chu Yi immediately realized something was wrong. With her understanding of Han Zu, these rumors might not just be rumors. Chu Yi suddenly recalled something unusual. Two days ago, she met Han Zu and asked him for help. She had a video chat with Han Zu. Now that she thought about it, he didn't seem to have any equipment with him. How did he communicate with her? Did he have some special equipment that could connect to the unlimited company's network while avoiding being investigated by the unlimited company? Could it be that the disappearance of the facility, which now seemed to be mostly self-destruction, was actually remotely controlled by Han Zu? What conspiracy was he really up to?
This is still unknown, but if Chu Yi wants to dispel his doubts, he must go down and take a look.
"Wait a moment."
But just as she was about to go down through the well in the yard to check, the mysterious woman who worked under the chairman suddenly spoke up to stop her.
"What did you say?"
"I don't recommend you go down."
"Why? Do you know what happened? Have you gone down there in advance?"
"That's not the case. But if you go down there and really find some evidence that you shouldn't find, what are you going to do?"
"What do you mean by evidence that shouldn't be discovered? What do you want to say?"
"When the scanning equipment confirmed that there was a huge hole underground, everyone had already come to a conclusion, right? In that case, we already know what Han Zu is doing. Are you sure you want to confirm it with your own eyes? I don't think it's necessary."
"You sound like you have something else to say."
"That's right, but I think you already understand what I want to say."
"I'm a stubborn person. If you don't explain clearly, I won't understand."
"Well, I'm telling you that it's time to think about yourself."
"I need more details."
The mysterious woman straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind, walked up to Chu Yi, took her hand, and took her out of Han Zu's old house and went to another location in this deserted old village. While walking, she started talking to Chu Yi again.
"Although Infinite Company seems to be prosperous now, in fact, there are undercurrents inside, and multiple forces are mixed together, with signs of division. The lessons of history tell us that this situation will eventually end, and one party will definitely win over the others and become the sole leader of the company. When that day comes, all that remains is to eliminate dissidents, and then the situation of "the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, and the bow is hidden after the bird is dead". Now it seems that this time will not be too late, so it is time to think about your own way out."
"Are you trying to say that the final winner, the one who can truly become the ruler of Infinite Company, will be Han Zu?"
"That's not necessarily the case, but I'm more inclined to believe that he might destroy Infinite Company one day, or at least destroy the top executives, no matter what faction they belong to. What he's doing now is working hard to have this kind of capital in the future."
"I thought you were the chairman's loyal lackey."
"Of course, at least it used to be, but I have seen that Infinite Company is heading towards a vortex of internal strife. I guess you want to say that you are different from me because you are the granddaughter of the former chairman?"
"So what do you think?"
"Come on, your identity is fine for deceiving ordinary people, but isn't it a bit too conceited to deceive me or yourself? You are just one of this generation, and a bastard, otherwise you wouldn't be able to play with Leslie and her gang, right? You were pushed to the front just to be cannon fodder to attract firepower for the real heirs, your two twin brothers, right?"
"How did you know this..."
"Is this important? Like I said, you should think more about yourself. Also, others don't know, but you don't know? This incident is the bait used by the Feidenan family to cause trouble for Han Zu. They didn't tell all the information they knew."
"It seems that you also know the Ferdinand family."
"Of course, after all..."
Having said that, the mysterious woman suddenly let go of Chu Yi's hand. She rubbed her face, and then Chu Yi suddenly found that the mysterious woman's face suddenly began to change, and in Chu Yi's surprised expression, it slowly turned into another face.
"I took the lead in this operation."
This mysterious woman rearranged her hair and raised her head. The mysterious woman who removed her disguise and revealed her true face was actually Christina.
"It's you?!"
Chu Yi naturally knew Christina's identity. After all, they had dealt with each other at some special banquets before, but she had never thought that this mysterious woman was actually Christina. It was no exaggeration to say that she was the second-in-command of the Ferdinand family.
This news was so secret that Chu Yi's surprise turned into undisguised shock. It took a long time for Chu Yi to come back to his senses.
"If Han Zu knew your true identity, given his temper, it would not be easy to resolve the matter of you invading his secret facility."
"If he doesn't know the actual situation, that's the case. But it's different now, don't you think? Han Zu?"
Christina looked at a very old stone statue next to the two of them on the village road and greeted it. The eyes of the statue suddenly lit up, indicating that this statue was not ordinary.
"How is this going?"
"The village is basically full of surveillance equipment he installed, especially this kind of thing, which is not conspicuous at first glance and has nothing to do with surveillance equipment."
Meanwhile, at the resort hotel in the island country, the balcony of Han Zu's room.
Han Zu, who was leaning against the balcony fence and smoking, was silent. The development of the matter was beyond his expectations. At this moment, Han Zu, who was watching the monitoring system remotely through the contractor's equipment and heard Christina's greeting to him, was also quite shocked. He didn't even care when the cigarette ash fell on him.
